Are you just always tired? Do you have some kind of bedtime ritual? Have you had issues sleeping in the past and how did you handle that?

I can be out in 30 seconds. My wife hates it, LOL. Especially because I can self check and give her an accurate prediction of when I will be tired enough for sleep.

I.e. she might say "what do you want to do tonight? And I'll say " we can watch a short episode of a show or a quick board game,, because I have 45 minutes before I'll be asleep"

Main things are routine:

I eat a balanced diet of protein, fats, carbs. And I don't often snack on sugary foods.
I don't go to bed unless I'm actually tired.
I wake up about the same time every day. Usually with the sunrise.
I don't have worry, or anxiety, that would keep my brain busy at night. Everything can be tomorrow's problem.
if my body is tired out, but my mind isn't, I'll put in earbuds and listen to a podcast in bed , but with everything set for sleeping. Lights out, eyes shut, comfortable in the covers.
